Flower Language
It's the season when the early summer atmosphere is in full swing and beautiful flowers are in full bloom.
Plants can sometimes soothe our hearts by bringing back memories and feelings.
This time, we will introduce the meanings of flowers, focusing on plants that are often used in "Japanese tattooing", one of the most popular styles of KARAFURU rings.
Mimosa...gratitude, compassion, sensitivity, elegance, etc.
(Translucent + Japanese carvings such as mimosa and forget-me-nots + diamonds)
Mimosa has lovely small round flowers that bloom from February to April. In Italy, on International Women's Day, March 8th, there is a custom of giving mimosa flowers to women to show gratitude, known as "Festa della Donna" (Women's Day). It is also called "Mimosa Day."
The language of flowers varies by country and region, but the most widely known ones are "compassion," "sensitivity," and "elegance." In Italy, the language of flowers is "gratitude," as it is a flower used to convey gratitude to women.
The scent of mimosa has a calming effect and relieves anxiety and tension. The warm and gentle impression of mimosa makes it perfect for engraving on a ring.
Forget-me-not...True love, true romance, don't forget me
Forget-me-nots have small, cute flowers. The sight of countless tiny flowers in bloom is truly beautiful.
The English name is "Forget-me-not".
The name and language of this flower comes from the deep love between two lovers in a tragic love legend from medieval Germany. In France, it is also considered a flower that symbolizes friendship.
Laurel...bright future, glory, honor, victory /Leaves...I will not change until I die
(Translucent + Japanese engraving of laurel leaves and early summer flowers + diamond)
It is an evergreen tree that does not lose its leaves all year round and is also known as the laurel tree.
In the Greek myth of Apollo and Daphne, Apollo created a laurel wreath as a symbol of his eternal love and wore it for the rest of his life.
In ancient Greece, laurel leaves were used to make wreaths and were placed on the heads of winners and outstanding individuals as a symbol of victory and glory, which is where the flower's meaning comes from.
Lavender...waiting for you, devoted love, expectation, cleanliness, elegance, etc.
(Translucent + Lavender Japanese Carving + Milgrain)
Lavender is very famous for its relaxing scent and is known as the "Queen of Herbs."
The flower's meaning, "I'm waiting for you," is said to come from a European legend about a girl named Lavender who was in love with a beautiful boy, but was too shy to confess her feelings, so she continued to wait and eventually turned into a single flower.
The feelings of a girl in love are adorable.
Baby's breath...clean heart, happiness, charm, innocence, dreaminess, purity, etc.
Baby's breath is a representative example of a pure flower. It was named "Kazumosa" (baby's breath) because the countless small flowers on the ends of the branches resemble the appearance of a spring mist.
The English language meanings of this flower are "everlasting love," "purity of heart," and "innocence." These are perfect language meanings for wedding rings.
Cosmos...maiden's sincerity, harmony, humility, peace, etc.
Cosmos brightens up autumn with vibrant colors. They are hardy and easy to grow, and are a familiar flower in Japan.
Its Japanese name is "Akizakura" or "Oharushagiku". The name cosmos comes from the Greek word "kosmos" (harmony, beauty, order, universe) because of its beautiful appearance.
